Not only is he the mastermind of the cheeky bank robbery, Pham Anh Tai (nicknamed Tai Den) also surprised the public when he was revealed to be an assassin with a special wanted warrant for the past 8 years.
On February 7, the Gia Lai Provincial Police Investigative Agency confirmed that it was temporarily detaining Pham Anh Tai (born 1990) and Le Van An (born 1993) – the two main "links" in the recent bank robbery case that caused a stir in public opinion. The siege not only ends the criminal journey of a gang of robbers but also uncovers the dark record of a "cold-blooded" gypsy.
Cross-provincial sweep
The robbery that occurred on January 19 activated the entire crime prevention system of the Gia Lai Provincial Police and the Criminal Police Department (Ministry of Public Security). After many days of reviewing the tough subjects in Gia Lai and Quang Ngai, the name "Tai Den" began to fall into the sights of the scouts.
Pham Anh Tai is not a strange name in the world of "brothers and sisters". Through verification, the functional forces discovered that Finance was the subject of severe wanted murder since 2018 in Kon Tum. With his seniority in hiding and reckless nature, Tai always carries a "hot" weapon with him, ready to fight back to the end.
The "huge" arsenal at the cave
Determining that this was a particularly dangerous object, the Special Task Force had to carefully calculate each step to ensure absolute safety for the people and the arresting force. When the time was ripe, the scouts simultaneously attacked Tai Den and his trusted junior Le Van An.
At the lair of the group of subjects, the investigating agency seized an "arsenal of weapons" and exhibits that made many people shudder: 4 handguns and 46 bullets. About 1 kg of lead ammunition. The amount of cash is up to 930 million VND. Many gold rings and documents related to illegal activities.
Confession after 8 years on the run
After being arrested, in the face of irrefutable evidence, Tai Den not only admitted to the act of robbing the bank but also confessed to the horrific crime in the past.
On the night of August 5, 2018, at Bar Window (Kon Tum City), a bloody melee occurred. Tai admitted that he had taken an AK gun and fired directly, causing 2 people to die on the spot and 2 others to be seriously injured. After that "purge", he went silent, changed his name and continued to entice his juniors to form a gang to carry out other felony cases until the day he fell into the net.
The successful dismantling of Tai Den's gang not only brought peace to the area but also enforced justice for the victims of the murder case 8 years ago. Currently, the authorities are continuing to expand the investigation and clarify the role of related subjects to be strictly handled before the law.
5 minutes of "suffocation" at the transaction office and the hot investigation
The shocking robbery occurred at 15:52 on January 19 at Tra Ba Transaction Office (Vietcombank Gia Lai). In just 5 minutes, Tai "Black" and his accomplices used guns to intimidate all employees and customers, stealing a huge amount of 1.89 billion VND. The boldness and "lightning-fast" speed of the criminal group have shocked the public.
Immediately, the race against time began. The Director of Gia Lai Provincial Police directly directed the criminal spearheads to get involved. In particular, the case received close attention from the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security, directly Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Long and Director of the Criminal Police Department Tran Ngoc Ha. All escape routes of the two perpetrators were gradually closed by close combat coordination between central and local professional units.
